Sweet Sixteen,

Sweet Sixteen,

Sweet Sixteen,

Ah, you抮e the sweetest little babe

That I抳e ever seen  



But you would not

You would not do

Everything that I ask you to

Guess you ran away from your home, darling

Now, you won抰 run away from me too  



Well, my brother is sent to Korea

And my sister settled down in New-Orleans

Guess my mother is up in heaven

And now I wonder what

Would happen to me  



Sweet Sixteen

Sweet Sixteen

Sweet Sixteen

Sweet Sixteen

You抮e the sweetest little baby

That I ever seen
